Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas a Hyatt Resort

Our stay at Alila Marea was nothing short of spectacular! It started at check-in where John( who later reminded me capture my honors points, thank goodness!!) welcomed us and made us feel at home. He was kind, considerate, and professional as he listed the generous amount of amenities. The staff, the food & beverage, and most all the spectacular sunsets were a thing of beauty and marvel. We hope to be back soon but our 5 night stay was perfect. Two favorite things on site were the complimentary (strong cocktail👍) at sunset and the silent disco!! This place was amazing!!

The only thing better than the spectacular location (and I can’t underscore this enough) which was amazing - was the staff. Eva and John were so attentive to my needs and went the extra mile to make sure my stay was more than enjoyable. They set the bar high with their attention to detail (and I’ve stayed at more hotels than I’d like to count). All the housekeeping staff were a pleasure too, they made you feel at home. I highly recommend making this the go to getaway in Southern California. You will not be disappointed.

The rooms are very nice, the people are great, location is okay, but the service is terrible. Room service will tell you they can’t deliver anything to your room unless you get a hold of a manager. The bar tenders at the pool bar close 30 minutes early. If you want to pay a decent amount for a room and have terrible service, this is the place to stay. The views are great. The food and drinks are great as well, if you can get the staff to work and take your order. The front desk manager is worthless and just apologizes that she can’t do anything. The food and beverage manager is the person you want to talk with. He can actually get things done compared to what the website says. It was a VERY frustrating 5 day stay to say the least. We literally had issues every day and it was the food and beverage manager that made it right every time. It shouldn’t be this hard to spend money.
